The US$ did remain firm on Friday, as expected, and it looks as though that could remain the case in the coming session although being a partial US holiday (Veterans Day) it is likely to be a quiet session. Looking to sell any of the majors against the US$, with the possible exception to the JPY which looks rangebound, may be a plan.
Elsewhere, the metals may be picking up steam on the downside, while WTI still looks awful. Stocks look mixed although I prefer to sell rallies, given the focus on the next FOMC Meeting and a likely December rate hike.
On the crosses, Sterling currently looks heavy but is probably best avoided as a positive Brexit headline could quickly alter the picture here. I also like to sell the Yen crosses (i.e. buy Jpy). I prefer to stick to EurJpy, AudJpy or NzdJpy.
Economic data highlights will include:
Mon: US Veterans Day Holiday, NZ Electronic Card Retail Sales, NZ Monthly Inflation Gauge, China New Loans, Japan Machine Tool Orders
